I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

After the military meeting, Wang Dayong reported to Wu Changqing that they had found Gu Yanwu on the Yulian Trail in Changshu.

However, Gu Yanwu refused to serve as an official on the grounds of filial piety.

Filial piety is very important in this day and age. When parents die, they must observe filial piety for three years.

As a future man, Wu Changqing disdains such pedantic filial piety. Gu Yanwu's mother was killed by the army of the Qing court, shouldn't the real filial piety be to stand up and take revenge?

If everyone is like Gu Yanwu, then the Qing court will be happy. As long as those old people are killed in one go, wouldn't everyone have to collectively observe filial piety.

Of course, Wu Changqing can also understand Gu Yanwu's behavior, after all, the atmosphere of this era is like this.

As a famous scholar, Gu Yanwu, if he does not keep his filial piety, will inevitably be used as evidence against him in the future.

"Looks like I'm the only one to go there myself."

Wu Changqing didn't like the scene of Sangu Thatched Cottage very much, and it felt a bit contrived. But reality forced him to do it, and he couldn't do anything about it.

In the military he can still get involved, but in the civil administration, he has neither the talent nor the energy.

And a regime without an administrative system is useless no matter how strong it is militarily. Just like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations, the army in the early stage was invincible, but because there was no mature administrative system, the entire internal chaos was chaotic, and finally it began to decline from the inside.

"No, it's too dangerous, why don't I send someone to tie him up."

Wang Dayong said that they are currently in the rear of the enemy army. Except for a few places in Jiading, Kunshan and Taicang, which belong to their control, other places are still in the hands of the Qing court.

It's not safe unless you bring a large army there.

"Bring them here, do you think we are bandits? Concentrate on training your troops. I have arranged this matter. Yu Lianjing is only half a day's journey away, so how dangerous can it be."

Wu Changqing didn't want to take risks either, but who made him have no one to use now.

The next day, Wu Changqing first reorganized the army, and then began to drill.

Mainly discipline training and the use of flintlock guns, formation drills.

During the training, Wu Changqing also came up with an additional trust training, divided the soldiers into two rows, and then ordered the soldiers in the front row to fall backwards, and the soldiers in the back were responsible for catching them.

At first glance, this training may seem like a piece of shit.

But in fact, this kind of training is still very useful. It is human nature to only believe in themselves, and it is very difficult for them to unconditionally believe in others.

Therefore, at the beginning of the training, many soldiers who were about to fall were playing tricks, either looking back secretly or not resolutely when they fell.

And this kind of behavior will be caught out by the instructor and will be severely punished.

After being punished, the soldiers also learned to behave, and fell down honestly.

After a few more falls, the basic soldiers were able to overcome their fears and choose to believe in their own robes.

And this is very rare. In war, the soldiers pay attention to performing their respective duties, cooperating with each other, and handing over their backs to their comrades. Only by holding this belief can we be able to exert the greatest fighting power.

What would an army without this belief be like? Probably half-hearted when fighting, looking left and right, always thinking that the main thing was to save his own life, and he didn't believe that his comrades would protect him.

This is only the situation in a small group of troops, and in a large-scale battle, it is shown that the central army does not believe in the flanks, and the flanks do not believe in the central army.

As soon as there is any trouble, he wants to run away, lest he be surrounded.

It is not a joke that tens of thousands of Ming troops heard the arrival of the Eight Banners soldiers, and then left their friendly troops to escape. It really happened.

The war of this era has both tragic scenes and funny scenes. In many cases, some generals won and did not know how they won, and some generals lost and did not know how they lost.

After the training was on the right track, Wu Changqing, with dozens of personal soldiers, quietly left the city and went straight to Changshu.

The group rode on horses and arrived at Gu Yanwu's habitat, Yulian Trail, in less than two hours.

"Please let me know and say that Jiading Wu Changqing is asking to see you."

Wu Changqing came to Gu Yanwu's house and reported his name.

At this time, he broke through the Qing army, and the deeds of killing thousands of enemies have been spread around. When the servants of the Gu family heard that it was Wu Changqing, they quickly trotted in to report.

Gu Yanwu also came out to greet him in person, and as soon as he went out, he began to look at Wu Changqing.

Like many people, Gu Yanwu's first impression is that he is young, and Wu Changqing is really too young. Although people in this era are relatively precocious, at the age of sixteen, they have reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, and there are even many people who become fathers at the age of sixteen.

However, it is extremely rare for a person who has mastered thousands of soldiers and horses and killed thousands of Qing troops at the age of sixteen.

"Mr. Gu."

Wu Changqing performed an ordinary teacher-student ceremony. After all, Gu Yanwu was a great scholar in the world, so he had to act like a virtuous corporal.

"General Wu, please come in."

Gu Yanwu hurriedly greeted him, but he didn't dare to ask him. Although he is a so-called Great Confucianism, the status of such a Great Confucianism can only have status in the prosperous world.

In troubled times, it is the uncle who holds the knife and the gun.

The status of military attachés in the Ming Dynasty has always been extremely low, and a seventh-rank civil official can even directly humiliate the second-rank general soldier. However, chaos

When the world came, the military attachés with heavy soldiers in their hands turned around one after another, and even the emperor had to treat them with courtesy.

"I heard that Mr. Gu is practicing filial piety recently. He is really a role model for the world, and I admire him. My father also died in battle some time ago, so I want to learn from Mr. Gu and keep filial piety together."

Wu Changqing is a person who likes to go straight, so as soon as he entered the Gu family mansion, he started talking about business.

Gu Yanwu felt ashamed when he heard the words. Where did Wu Changqing come to learn? He was clearly mocking him for being too small, and he couldn't distinguish between priorities.

"General Wu, this is unacceptable. You are a hero in the world. How can you learn from a pedantic person like me."

Gu Yanwu humiliated himself.

"Since Mr. also knows that keeping filial piety in troubled times is pedantic, why don't you change it? I heard that your mother often teaches you about Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang and Fang Xiaoru. Do you think your mother in the spirit of heaven wants you to keep filial piety here?

Students believe that filial piety and unfilial piety can only be known by themselves, and what others see are appearances. If you have filial piety in your heart, you are worthy of the heaven and earth, and you do not need to care about the opinions of others. "

Wu Changqing said.

The act of keeping filial piety does not rule out that some people are really filial, but most of them are a means of showing off. Whether a person is filial or not can never be measured by filial piety.

Gu Yanwu was speechless for a while. Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't speak to Wu Changqing. If he really wants to debate, he can now cite the scriptures and say a lot of truths to refute Wu Changqing.

But why?

His filial piety is just forced to save his reputation, it doesn't mean that he really likes to waste his life here, and then watch the people fall into a sea of ​​misery.

He also wanted to contribute to the great cause of anti-Qing, so he would not refute, and even prepared to use this step to agree to Wu Changqing's solicitation.
